A patient who had undergone endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with the Endologix PowerLink bifurcated system presented with delayed aortic aneurysm enlargement due to assumed endotension. He was treated with aortic sac evacuation and wrapping of the endograft. This is the first report of endotension and aneurysm sac enlargement after implantation of the PowerLink endograft.

Highlights Tension hemothorax is a life threatening condition. Emergency thoracotomy can be accomplished in a hybrid room. Endovascular subclavian artery stenting is a good choice in an emergency setting.
